Shigeru Miyamoto on se Nintendon tunnetuin pelisuunnittelija. Ikää on jo 71 vuotta ja palvelusvuosia 46, mutta eläkkeelle jäämistä ei edes harkita.
The Guardianille Miyamoto kertoi ajattelevansa eläköitymistä enemmän päivää, jolloin hän kaatuu saappaat jalassa. Kaikilla kun on se oma aikansa.
"More so than retiring, I'm thinking about the day I fall over. In this day and age you have to think about things in a five-year timespan, so I do think about who I can pass things on to, in case something does happen."
"I'm really thankful that there is so much energy around things that I have worked on. These are things that have already gone out into the world ... they've been cultivated by others, other people have been raising them, helping them grow, so in that sense I don't feel too much ownership over them anymore."
